ADIDAS is failing BIG!
As much as I loved Adidas sneakers (since I was kid, from original Wimbledon and Universal model) I must tell you that I hate this “shit quality” direction they are aiming. By devoting so much money in marketing and paying these professional athletes ridiculous amount of money they are directly failing us, old customers. You can not remove all you production facilities into Asia (China, Bangladesh, Vietnam…) and sell us some shitty plastic low quality products. Don’t be a hunk, open only 1 factory in Europe and start producing jus…read more
The ugliest cars in the world are Toyota cars
Latest Toyota cars or let’s say last two generations are the worst designed cars in the whole world (my personal opinion). I got angry every time when I spot some new Toyota model in daily traffic. I can not describe why I got angry when I look this Quasimodo ugliness but I found out that it is Toyota design that makes me angry. I am not specialized in design, but the rules how these cars are designed, influence my calmness in a bad way. Few days ago, I was behind…read more

The solution of this problem was to change all my projects and settings from .dev to .test and now it is working again. I hate these kind…read more
Solving PHPMailer and GMail connection failed issue
Strange behaviour – it just stopped working 10 days ago and after a long search found a solution in specifying additional parameters in SSL connection, so working example should be like this: try { $mail = new PHPMailer(); $mail->IsSMTP(); $mail->SMTPDebug = 2; $mail->SMTPAuth = true; $mail->SMTPSecure = ‘ssl’; $mail->SMTPOptions = array ( ‘ssl’ => array ( ‘verify_peer’ => false, ‘verify_peer_name’ => false, ‘allow_self_signed’ => true ) ); $mail->Host = “smtp.gmail.com”; $mail->Port = 465; $mail->IsHTML(true); $mail->Username = GOOGLE_SMTP_USERNAME; $mail->Password = GOOGLE_SMTP_PASSWORD; $mail->SetFrom(SMTP_USERNAME); $mail->Subject = “Test”; $mail->Body = “hello”; $mail->AddAddress(YOUR_RECEIVING_EMAIL); if(!$mail->Send()) {…read more
How to save 55$ for undelete software
You probably accidentally deleted some important files more then once. It is especially sensitive when it comes to photos from your family trip and when you deleting by instinct with SHIFT+Delete (avoiding Recycle Bin). I did that today and I needed some simple data recovery software. I remembered that there is File Scavenger who can restore accidentally deleted files and I installed it. Scanned the drive, found my photos and when I wanted to recover them I found out that I need to buy the licence for 55$. I didn’t…read more
